    Wow i never thought i would ever see one of these old Phillips VCR units again. These where pre beta and VHS but similar to the Sony u matic. The head in the 1700 model of the Philips was in very short supply and they solved that problem by pricing it so no one would want to buy one.

    It’s sad to see you not posting as many videos as you used to. Watching your videos and photonicinduction’s when I was like 10 years old is what got me so interested in electronics to begin with. Now I’ve got my own little electronics bench and an industrial robot to mess with. Anyway, keep up the videos, even ones like this are nice.

    I'm still here Ed, and I ain't leaving! :D
    Too bad for the Merc! Crazy how much German/high end car parts are. That's why I avoid them. I almost did some work on a Maserati, but my gut said "That car will be a nightmare to work on". Some of these exotic cars you need to take the engine out for an oil change. That's a horrid design.
    Have you ever thought about building a race car? Isn't racing really popular Down Under?
    I recommend filming the Merc repair. I'll definitely watch it.
    Cheers!

      A Certificate of Roadworthiness (also known as a ‘roadworthy’ or ‘RWC’) shows that your vehicle’s safe enough to be used on public roads. A roadworthy is required whenever a vehicle’s sold, if it’s being re-registered, and to clear some defect notices.

The days of making money let alown big money are long gone, CZcams hit its peek years ago now & even back then it was pretty much the luck of the draw. Now CZcams is in its decline until it dies as the service has never made a profet & costs billions a year to run. How much longer is anyones guess.
